Defender, configured and checked
BRUTAL works with the Defender already in Windows: status, scans, hardening and a quarantine list, read back after every change.
Defender's controls, in one place.
The same cards you meet in the app, in the same order.
Every switch is read back.
Strengthen Defender shows what Windows kept, not what was asked for.
Does BRUTAL replace Microsoft Defender?
No. It reads and drives the Defender already in Windows, adds no scanning engine of its own and never registers itself with Windows Security, so Defender stays in charge of real-time protection.
Will the integrity audit flag my games or anti-cheat?
BattlEye, EAC, Riot Vanguard, FACEIT, nProtect and emulator components such as GameLoop are allow-listed before anything is shown. The audit reads files at rest and WMI metadata only: no kernel driver of our own, no injection, and it never reads a game's memory.
What stays after I uninstall?
The five Strengthen Defender switches are Defender's own settings, so they stay as you left them. Switch one off before you uninstall and it writes back the value it had before you switched it on.
What does Pro add here?
Two Guardian jobs: Auto-maintain runs a Defender quick scan in the background, never while a game is running, and Persistence baseline checks once a day for new startup and persistence entries. Status, scans, hardening, the audit and the privacy center are free.
Pro $4.99 (charged as ₹499)/year or Ultra $9.99 (charged as ₹899)/year, renews yearly until you cancel; measuring your network route stays free for everyone.
Check your protection in one screen.
Free for Windows 10 and 11. Defender stays in charge.
